For sure.
I think some ligitimate criticism can be levelled at MAG, who could have perhaps have started the TP a little sooner. The counter to that is the traffic growth over the past 2/3 years has been pretty much unprecedented.
However, the surrounding road layout is woefully underprepared. Something had to be done, and you wonder if this could have been undertaken a few years ago (i.e. before the TP).
Hindsight is a wonderful thing!
